School Registers

The School holds a folder of school registers from 1901 to 1994. These are photocopies, of which the originals are held at the Hampshire Record Office.

The History Group is in the process of transcribing these registers. To date all those relating to East Meon Church of England National School are attached as PDFs. (East Meon Church of England Primary School opened in 1964.)

They offer a fascinating picture of life in East Meon in the first six decades of the 20th century. Pupils came and went at any time of the year, arriving in the village when their fathers found work here, leaving when they found work elsewhere. A remarkably low percentage remained until they reached the leaving age of 14.
